Covenant Foundation 18th Anniversary Celebration Live!

Tomorrow, the Convent Foundation, one of this country's preeminent supporters of Jewish education initiatives, will celebrate their 18th anniversary with a conference at the UJA-Federation of New York. The event's overarching themes are described as "Dissolving Boundaries" and "Seizing the Future: Promoting Jewish Learning, Community Building and Civic Engagement." I will be joining a panel on the latter subject.

Watch this space for a live broadcast from the conference beginning at 10:30AM on Tuesday, October 27. The speaker schedule follows.

10:30AM Welcome – Harlene Appelman Dissolving Boundaries: An Introduction – Martha Minow and Liz Lerman Small Dances about Big Ideas: Excerpts – Liz Lerman Dance Exchange

That was a really good session! Thanks for the streaming. Someone, not usually terribly technical emailed me from the event from her blackberry to send me the URL to watch the streaming, where I ran into a bunch of old friends on the chat channel while watching. Some days the world seems smaller and everything seems well-connected.

Nice job! Looking forward to seeing the video posted so I can catch the bits I missed.

Am trying to get the Covenant Foundation’s Dissolving Boundaries broadcast but am not gettting it.  Can you tell me how I might be able to call it up?  Thanks.  JK
